Srinagar- The family of Dr Muzammil Ganaie, who was arrested after 360 kilograms of explosives were recovered from his rented room in Faridabad on Tuesday, claimed that there was no indication of the medico's involvement in terror activities.

“It is being alleged that he is a big terrorist. We have no knowledge of it. For the past five decades, there has been no case against anyone from our family,” Azad Shakil, brother of Muzammil, told PTI at his Pulwama residence.

Shakil said his family, who are farmers by occupation, have been targeted by stone-pelters in the past for being nationalists.

“We are completely Indians, and we have taken stones for India. You can verify it from anyone in the village,” he said.

Asked about his brother who has been arrested, Shakil said he was a“good person”.

“You can ask around about him. There are allegations about his involvement in terror activities, but we have not been allowed to meet him so far,” he added.
